Rap image = outdated.

Rap artists will look like Stepin Fetchit in about 20 years from now.

Perspective is everything.

Why don't you ask the millions of white suburban kids who strive to look and dress that way. For what it's worth, I'd rather wear some of Outkast's new clothing line than a "monkey suit" any day of the week. Well, except for the day of my job interview.

forget about how they dress, it's the bullshit that they talk. talking about slangin' rock and shooting people and singing about drinking moet and wearing gold and shit. Great message to send out to the kids. Too bad most of em blow all their shit on material goods and their posse' and eventally wind up poor as hell when it's all said and done because they didn't invest their money.

Black face = whites lampooning blacks in one way or another.
Rapper styles = blacks presenting themselves in a negative light to society in general.

Both do harm, but the latter is folks doing harm to themselves so some find it acceptable. "They're just being who they are" kind of mentality.

if there wasnt a market for it in most races, i doubt they would be succesful.

Actually, the black face and red lips were donned by blacks, in many cases.
